TV presenter Ant McPartlin and wife Lisa are to split after 11 years of marriage.

The 42-year-old - one half of TV duo Ant and Dec - announced the news on Saturday night after months of rumours regarding the couple's relationship.

A statement issued by McPartlin's representative said:

McPartlin tied the knot with make-up artist Lisa Armstrong in 2006 at a star-studded ceremony at St Nicholas' Church in Taplow, Buckinghamshire.

The couple met at a roadshow in Newcastle in the mid-1990s while Lisa was an aspiring pop star in Deuce.

He has often spoken of their struggle to have children.

Last year McPartlin entered rehab after struggling with a two-year addiction to super-strength painkillers following a knee operation in 2015.
